My dad bought the same deal 3-4 hours after I did and he already received his codes this morning.

I received my initial confirmation at 10.39am yesterday. The codes were delivered to me at 11.06am. Today I used my first code. It couldn't have been easier to redeem. As detailed in previous posts, you cannot select seats during the booking process. But, once you are booked you can go into the manage flights page and select seats from there. Overall, extremely satisfied with this promotion!!!

Yay! Glad I got in on this, got 3 long hauls.
The promo code can only be entered on the first, flight search screen. (or, I couldn't find a place to put it after).
The promo code is ONLY good for a round trip. You must select an outbound and return. You can't break it up and use it as two one ways to different cities.
I couldn't select seats in the purchase flow, but after 'purchasing" for $14 ($7 in taxes each way), I could go to my reservation and select.
I emailed my voucher email to Virgin Elevate to request the elevate points for dollars spent.

long layover
hi i was wondering if this is possible.
I have a long haul promo code from this promotion
I want to fly
JFK-SFO
spend five hours then fly
SFO-LAS
then fly LAS-JFK a few days later
i can book a ticket this way now because jfk-las flights fly through sfo for most of their flights, however i can only get a two hour layover this way. Any way to stretch that out?

Appears as though you need to book at least six days in advance. Even if there are MCS seats available on flights before then, I see no availability until the 31st, for example. Bummer.

A select few flights seem to have blackouts. Keep in mind though with MCS, you can actually chance your flights with no penalty fees- sometimes I've found I can book one, and change it to a flight that previous was 'unavailable'.
Wish I bought more of these things. :\
